We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Human Genome",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Agreements with Geospiza and GenomeQuest from
Applied Biosystems, which we summarised at the time by saying "Applied Biosystems's software development community has established two formal agreements intended to help scientists address next-generation sequencing bioinformatics challenges".
The day before,
we featured the news release First African human genome has been sequenced from
Illumina: "Sequencing of this HapMap sample was conducted internally and marks the first human genome sequence generated exclusively with paired reads of 35 to 50 bases in length".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Roche Applied Science
concerning its 3K - Long Tag
- take a look at Sequence 100 bases from each end on a single read
which says: "Paired End reads with long tags are critical for researchers who want an accurate and complete picture of the genome and for those who want to get a comprehensive view of genetic variation beyond SNPs".
Take a look also at the news release from OGT, Database for customised microarray design,
as well as How low can a genome go? from SPECIAL REPORT by the Editor,
and Sequencing the bonobo genome at Max Planck from Roche Applied Science.
